The "Parenthood" star gushed about meeting the A-lister at this year's Academy Awards saying, "I'm facing Kristin getting to my seat and she starts pulling my leg, and she goes, 'He’s talking to you. He's talking to you!' And I turn around and Brad Pitt is talking to me from four rows up! He goes, 'We love your movie.'"

Dax continued, "In that moment I completely forget that I had directed a movie, because I just forgot, and I go, 'What?'"
